The partially cored, street side situated residential house of an old farmstead was rebuilt. The symmetrical building consists of two maisonette flats, which are on the lower floors divided by a gateway.
A spacious loft was created in the attic. An annex on the longside of the building contains the staircases and allows for a separated entry to the loft as well as the novel roof terrace. It appears in a modern wooden facade of larch, which contrasts the annex from the classical plastered historic stock.
Bofflens, complete restauration and staircase annex addition
